Default Problem after problem Help!!!

After having to take the ARE (agostino) motor apart because they didnt properly clearence the rods and pistons. This was something that you could see didnt even need to measure. I put the motor back in and tried to bolt up my A/C and alt. bracket. They didnt tap the bosses on the iron block like we had discussed. I have three holding the a/c bracket but only one on the alt. There is only one boss on the iron block to tap. My question is...

After the second bolt hole is tapped will it affect the procharger that is going on top of this bracket? It seems like it will chew up belts like this.

as long as you use the three mounting holes for the braket you'll be fine.

There is no boss on my block by the timing cover. Can I drill by the block? It doesnt look like there is much there.I would have to tap the the outer one. SO I will only have the botoom and top outer one holding the alt. on. Then just put he spacer and bolt the Blower bracket to the alt. bracket?
